TBATE - THE PRODIGY

First step?

Arthur Leywins P.O.V

I woke up but it was still morning, I would have slept like an hour or so but I was refreshed back to a hundred percent ready to see how much I can use mana and what all element, I went out to the living room to find dad almost done with repair work.

"Oh, thank god you are finally awake, how do you sleep for so long" he asked relieved.

"What do you mean it was a short nap it's still light out" I replied confused.

"Riighht.. Arthur son I think awakening so early and advancing a stage at that took a lot out of ya, .... You were asleep for almost a day son"

I was shocked almost didn't believe hum but his serious and worried face  confirmed the words.

"Yeah you are right probably is a one time thing nothing to worry about" I replied reassuring him and me both.

"You are probably right but just to be safe your mom has gone fetch a healer friend of hers for a second opinion they will come at the time of dinner so why don't you help out your old man in the kitchen" he asked

Still a bit worried I let the matter rest until mom arrived "So, what are we making".

We were making something similar to a steak meal, a huge portion of meat don't know from which animal, lots of mashed potato and some veggies, dad brought in a huge barrel which I thought might be alcohol, meaning either the doctor is a male to be able to drink that much or there are other people coming along too, looking at the amount of food It was definitely the latter.

After a few hours were done with the preparation and put the food on a little fire to keep it warm inside an earth dome like structure.

"We have some time to kill, say what your father will teach you a little about fighting with magic"

I had seen him sometimes practicing outside his moves were nothing compared to mine when I was a king but I could tell my father was quite strong, "Very well but don't hold back on me Dad"

"I like the confidence, better walk the talk" he replied

Who says these kinds of things to a three year old, I laughed inside.

We were out in the backyard and we were warming up and taking our places just when dad threw something at me, I quickly reacted and moved out of the way and catching it swiftly but cautiously. It was a wooden sword, like a toy, my morale fell down as reality hit me, who was I to criticize my dad's technique while In this three year old's body I couldn't fare any better.

"Grea..great reflexes son" my father said shocked, apparently he had decided to toy with me by throwing it fast towards my leg to stumble me.

"Looks like you are all warmed up so lets get started"

I though he was going to teach me not spar with me! Oh only if mom was here he would be dead right now.

He made the first move a jab to my right, I swiftly shifted on my right foot to reply with a hook beneath longhead of the triicep, but I stumbled and fell, as I thought I wasn't used to combat with this body.

"hahaha, what a character you are one second you are dodging like a seasoned warrior the next you forget how to stand properly"

Apparently he didn't realized the move I was going to make as it was so choppy, I was fast but I didn't have the muscle memory and the build I required to effectively fight right now, hence I proposed "why don't you just show me how to use mana, I am feeling abit weak we can spar some other time"

"Oh right I am such an idiot, very well we will start with augmentation, try moving the mana from your core and. Trace it slowly along the mana channels, they may be rough right now but you will get the hang of it I'm sure"
